I think the Wizards might politely request they NOT show that game actually

Watched Sac-Chicago this morning. Break up the Bulls! Buzelis breaking out! Kings are really small and have 1.5 guys who play defense, which strikes me as problematic.

I would be doubled over in happiness if Mike ended up here, but Hawks need a minimum guy

Might be in the arena! Working as a pro scout.

Other random Hawks thoughts:

- Dyson's finishing. Yikes.
- Risacher not in closing 5 even with no Young or Porzingis.
- another good bench stint from Mo Gueye.
- didn't bite them but that challenge decision was brutal.

Hawks uncomfortably survive Brooklyn, now wait to hear on Trae Young's knee.

Assuming he's out for a bit, gotta think they sign a vet PG like Cam Payne or Delon Wright.

Still recovering from Hawks using their challenge on a non-shooting foul and losing. Gonna need another minute or two.

and NEVER take the front spot, the game is rigged for the ones in the back to go on the belt first!

Important follow-up to my opening night investigative report, "does anyone in Atlanta know that RJ Barrett is left-handed?"

I think these two things are connected. We were forced to seek out music that didn't suck.

Lol Bucks up 8 with 2:15 left and trying to shoot as quickly as humanly possible. Worked out though.

Two steals in a row from MIlwaukee's Ryan Rollins. Up to 11 on the season, playing just his fourth game.

ADEM BONA! Only one bucket but completely changed that game with his defense. Alarming how much better Sixers looked once they pulled Embiid.

Great start to the season for Utah's Keyonte George, the passing reads have been notably better.

Next step: Game management. Hasn't had many chances to play with a lead, but missed a golden chance to waste time here with running clock. Suns ended up tying it in last five seconds.

Big free agent news!!!!

Really interesting section on how the Nets got above the salary minimum before the start of the year. Unspoken here, I assume, is some lower level agents owing Sean Marks a favor for signing some dudes to minimums.
